((You might wanna put "Jay's room" next to Hope and "Jeremy's room" next to Joy, so people know those are taken... Ha...!Oh and, by the way... Whatever became of that map...?))

"I wonder what's up with Vi? She's up and quiet all of a sudden. It's like she just... stopped wanting to talk to anyone," Jeremy commented, still standing beside Jay."Hmm... yeah, that does seem strange... maybe she didn't expect all these guests at once?" Jay suggested, holding his chin in thought.Jeremy adjusted his glasses nervously before saying, "It's kind of a strange feeling around here, y'know?""I know, it certainly is," Jay replied.They both flipped to new pages in their sketchbooks, jotting down information about each guest.

"Yeah, I'll be staying." Noata spoke slowly, coughing. His lund couldn't take the strain of his speech. He carefully folded a map open. "So, we just choose any room we want that doesn't have someone skeeping there?" he was looking at Fauth with one white-eyed iris.

Violet tipped her head to the side and shook it. "The map is inside the room behind the bookshelf. Either there, or still in the library. Inside Violetta's sketchbook... I can't remember. I completely forgot about everything after that." Violet replied to Noata, "Yes, I suppose you can... Hope and Joy are taken though, just so you know..."

"She's probably just tired," Lavender said, shrugging her shoulders, "Really, you find it strange here? I feel great here! Really at home..."

"We always take notes. Whatever we observe about people, we write down either right then or sometime shortly after," Jay explained, continuing to jot down information."Nothing secret, really. Just observations we make," Jeremy added, nodding as he also continued to write.

Violet sighed quietly, "Sorry, just been... a bit down lately. Nothing to worry about though... I mean it has been a while... and there was a lot of private matters going on..." Violet trailed off a mumbled to herself while staring at the ground.

"Ooohhh! Observations! Aren't those um... Well when you're observing something? I can't remember what Violet told me about them though. Reservations, Observations, Preservations, Confrontations. Haha! They all rhyme..."

"Oh! Lav-Lav, that reminds me... have you picked out a room to stay in yet?" Jeremy asked. "...Or do you have a room of your own here?""Yes, us detectives have to make all kinds of observations, especially about evidence. Every time I start a new case, I begin a new sketchbook so I don't accidentally mix in evidence from previous cases," Jay explained."Never happened before and, the way we're going, it's never going to happen!" Jeremy added.

Very well. "Talking is the cure. You can't keep such thoughts bottled up for too long. At the very least, you should be able to clear you mind long enough to deal with the current situation." Mira looked down at the ground.

After writing down "Noata's room" next to Faith on the map, Jay and Jeremy closed their sketchbooks, rolled them up, and slid them back into their cases, which seemed way too small for them... but they went down in them effortlessly."So what should we do now, Jeremy?" Jay asked, arms folded, looking around."I'm not sure... something will decide for us soon, I bet," Jeremy replied mysteriously."Jeremy... don't be so enigmatic!" Jay scolded playfully, laughing afterward.

'What's Noata's deal?' Jay wondered to himself as he continued to observe the guests.'He seems jumpy... for some odd reason,' Jeremy replied in his thoughts; the brothers did have natural telepathic connection, after all... Or maybe it was the bracelets? Who knows?'Yeah... Not to mention the strange vibe I'm getting from him...' Jay added. "Hey, is anyone hungry? I haven't eaten in like, a year!" Jay randomly spoke out, 'And I'm not exaggerating...' he added in his thoughts."Erm, yeah... I'm kinda hungry too," Jeremy said, nodding in agreement.

"Maybe you should get your ears checked, then..." Violet muttered again, then shrugged off the topic."I you want," Violet started, "I could-""VI! VI! I want to cook something, I want to cook something!" Lavender was eager to help, "Can I cook? Please? Please I always see the chefs cook at the cafe! Can I? Please?"Violet looked at Lavender for a moment, sighed, and the nodded with a smile, "The kitchens across the hall from the living room, actually you can see it from here..."Lavender raced off into the kitchen, leaving everyone else in the room."Adorable..." Violet stated, still smiling.

Mira's ears twitched again. Mira pointed to Violet as an attorney would. "My ears do not need to be checked. If they did, I wouldn't be able to understand you this clearly! Not only that, I perform ear checks every morning!"

"Heehee... Ohhh, that's our Lavy!" Jay quipped."Lav-Lav is certainly adorable... Maybe I should go visit her on the job one of these days..." Jeremy began to mumble to himself."I think Cupid's arrow has finally stru--""HEY! No fair! Teasing your own brother... but yeah, it's kinda true... I really do like her," Jeremy admitted."I knew it!" Jay shouted, slapping his brother on the back.

Lavender was in the kitchen, working on some food. She was having trouble deciding what to make. She saw a lot of ingredients, and she'd seen things made so many times, but she just didn't know what to cook. "Hmm..." she closed her eyes and went through her mind. "La soupe aux chapignons!" Lavender opened her eyes and checked the refrigerator for mushrooms. She was pleased to see there were some, and that they seemed surprisingly fresh. She washed her hands, then slowly began to slice the mushrooms.

'That Noata guy's more mysterious than an Agatha Christie novel...' Jay thought.'I know... I feel like I should know him from somewhere. He does seem... familiar.' Jeremy replied."Hmm... I wonder what Lavender's making?" Jay wondered, attempting to start a conversation."Whatever it is, I hope it's good! I'm staaahvin'!" Jeremy added with a bit of an accent.'Gonna have to watch that guy...' Jay thought again. He made a mental note to try and piece all the facts together later. "...Mira doesn't need his ears checked... I mean, if he did, he wouldn't be able to hear the music to dance along with his fellow Elite Beat friends, now would he?" Jay asked randomly.

'Heellooo!?' He cried 'Gggnnn...((A kind of groaning noise I make...)) It's my fault! No-one in there likes me...'Phoenix went to the door, hearing this and opened it.'... Hello?' Declan said. 'Sorry, I expected Violet to be a woman...''No! This is her cabin. Come in.'

"Fyersostavn, Jeremy, you may as well gonseehr." The slurring in Noata's voice became slightly more forced then it had doe before. He was aware of the sibling's suspicsions, and wasn't attempting to resist it.

He walked up, and, using blue tack, stuck a small piece of A5 to the door of the Faith room. 'Noata Aokage', was on on the sign. However, in the corner, in minute detail, were too letters.

"I give Noata points for having such an endearing character trait..." Jeremy said to nobody in particular."Haha... Jeremy, you haven't forgotten we are ALL characters here... in our own special way!" Jay replied. He was still watching the other guests."This is going to be an interesting story, isn't it?" Jeremy asked, already knowing the answer."The plot, as they say, makes itself. What the characters do onstage decides where it goes from here," Jay stated confidently."Oh Jay, you and your not-so-subtle metaphors..." Jeremy said playfully. "Anyway, I wonder what's for dinner?""Oh boy! I'm so hungry, I could eat an octorok!" Jay proclaimed out of nowhere."A what?" Jeremy questioned, a confused look on his face."I dunno, but it sounded good at the time..." Jay admitted."You're weird, plain and simple," Jeremy stated firmly."Like brother like... brother, as they say," Jay retorted."Eh, whatev'," Jeremy said in a kind of laughing tone.

"Endeating indeed." muttered Noata, scowling. He paused, and glanced around the room. Once again, his eyes fell on the bracelets on the brother's arms. Dammit, why was he being pulled to them? He ventured a question, but slipped his hand into his pocket, and turned on his phone recorder. His phone was muted, and the clicks silent. There was no way, short of deux ex machina, to hear the phone recording them.

'That guy... Why is he suddenly interested in the bracelets? And there seems to be a different... aura about him... What's going on with him?' Jay thought to himself. "Made 'em. Little 'DIY' project of ours," Jay said, not wanting to give out more info than was needed.Jeremy added, "Yep. That's pretty much it."

"You would be most incorrect, sir. We really did make these on our own..." Jay stated honestly, "Oh, I suppose you're wondering why they glow like that?""Hmm... Why should we tell you? You're nothing but a stranger to us. We can't go divulging just any old information, especially to someone we just met," Jeremy said firmly. 'That suspicious aura of his may turn to our advantage.' Jeremy thought.'That guy's familiar, alright, but until he drops the guise, he really IS someone we don't know. And for all we know... we may NOT know him.' Jay replied in his thoughts."I wonder how Lav-Lav's cooking is coming? Let's go see," Jeremy suggested."I agree. See ya later, Noata!" Jay shouted as they walked (at a slightly quickened pace, but nobody would notice) to the kitchen.

Violet smiled a bit, knowing that he'd have to try a bit harder to get any secrets out of her. She glanced towards Naoto, and gave a puzzled look, "You seem... faintly... familiar," Violet said, tapping her lip in thought, "Have we met before?"

Lavender was very pleased with the way she had chopped the mushrooms. She quickly took out a pot, and filled it half way with water. She them put it on the stove, and turned it on to boil. After that, she checked the fridge again, for any herbs or spices that may be found. Lavender found some after looking around a bit, and put them next to the mushrooms. She them took some milk and put it into the boiling water. "For some reason, it makes it taste better..." she mumbled, before putting the mushrooms and herbs into the pot. She stirred it slowly with a large spoon she had found earlier, and smiled.

"Of course you can stay here..." Violet had stopped tapping her lip, and was now fiddling with her necklace, "Oh, you mean Jay an Jeremy? Yeah, they're precious... Seeing their bond used to always make me wish Rosie was back..."

"Hehe..." Lavender started to hum quietly, while she stirred the soup. The restaurant would always play music she liked, and she'd often hum along as she worked. She took another spoon, and tried some of the soup. She set the spoon on a paper towel, and confirmed her satisfaction of the soup.

"Now where did I put it..." Violet mumbled, looking on the table int he living room. She sighed then quickly raced up the steps and into the library. She found her sketchbook on the table, and quickly grabbed it. She then walked back down the stairs, and skipped the last two in a jump. Before entering the living room again, she went to check on Lavender. "I'm fine Vi," Lavender said, still stirring, "Stop worrying so much, it's just soup...""Yeah, I know... sorry... Thanks again, Rose..." just as Violet turned around, Lavender called, "That's Miss Lavender Rose, to you."Violet rolled her eyes and came back into the living room. She took a seat on the couch, and opened a drawer in the table in front of her. That is where she grabbed a pencil and opened her sketchbook to an unfinished drawing.

"You need not worry, Mira," Jay said walking by the fireplace, "Lavy's cooking up something in the kitchen. If my estimations are correct, it should be just about done.""I wonder what she made?" Jeremy said to nobody in particular. 'Noata... Jay, we'd better keep our doors locked tonight. I just don't know about that guy...' Jeremy began thinking.'I agree.' Jay had stopped walking at the familiar sound of his brother's voice in his mind. 'But let's not worry about that right now, m'kay? I mean, we're about to enjoy Lavy's cooking.''R-right... But I still feel uneasy.' Jeremy admitted. But then he perked back up and was smiling like normal. "Mmm... Whatever Ms. Rose's cooking in that kitchen, it sure smells delicious!" Jeremy proclaimed."Indeed it does. I can't wait!" Jay agreed.

"Fine, fine, cook your own dinner if you wish. We're not gonna stop you," Jay said consolingly. "Just don't burn the place down, alright? Heh... Only kidding... but please don't," he added, saying the last part really fast."Jay... You're so wacky!" Jeremy stated with a laugh."I know... That's what you call our unique character traits," Jay replied."Wait... OUR? Wow, you turned that right around, didn't you?" Jeremy said jokingly."You know it," Jay stated firmly with a thumbs-up.

"That should be impossible, assuming the fire is good enough to use." Mira examined the fire a little more. "I'm not too sure anymore, I don't think I have anything I can use to cook in a fireplace.... Hmmmmm..... Can the beats do the job?"
